Daniels, 31, spent his first eight seasons with the Texans before being released last month. He acted as a dependable safety blanket for Matt Schaub in Houston, doing the bulk of his damage in the middle of the field. Daniels missed 11 games last season due to a broken leg, but had 385 catches and 29 touchdowns during his productive run in Houston.

The move gives Joe Flacco a nice one-two punch at tight end with Daniels joining Dennis Pitta. Daniels is a substantial upgrade over Ed Dickson that gives Kubiak plenty of options in two-tight end sets.

With Steve Smith also in the fold, it's clear the Ravens have made a commitment to improving the supporting cast around their Super Bowl MVP quarterback.
